Description

Amynthas banbongensis (Thai, 1982)

Pheretima banbongensis Thai, 1982: 829, fig. 3B; Thai & Tran 1986: 5; Do 1994: 59; Nakamura 1999: 40; Thai 2000a: 308. Pheretima (Amynthas) banbongensis— Thai 1983: 125.

Amynthas banbongensis— Blakemore 2007a: 11; Blakemore 2008b.

Type locality. Vietnam (Ninh Binh: Cuc Phuong NP). Type material. ZMUM (W.247), Russia.

Examined material. 7 A (SORC-V.014.01), and 1 C (CTU-EW.047.01) Muong Long, Ky Son, Nghe An, 31/ 12/1985, coll. Tran Ba Cu; 1 A (SORC-V.014.02) Cuc Phuong NP, Nho Quan, Ninh Binh, 26/3/1983, coll. Do Van Nhuong.

Records from Vietnam. Ninh Binh (Cuc Phuong NP); Nghe An (Ky Son) (Thai 1982; Thai & Tran 1986; Do 1994).

Distribution. Only known from Vietnam.

Vietnamese name. Giun bản bóng.

Remarks. The population from Ky Son has smaller size, three pairs of genital markings on vii, viii and ix, and deeply-lobuled intestinal caeca (Thai & Tran 1986). Material was re-examined and absence of male copulatory pouches and hence placement of the species in Amynthas is confirmed here.
